First Gaming Build $1000 Max Need Help!

[zxdfty78]

First off, sorry if this is in the wrong section. Hello! Thank you for taking the time to see this. Here is my build so far. Some things that I should tell you are, I do not plan on spending more than $1000, but hope to keep it as cheap as possible (around $900 at most if possible). This build will primarily be used for hardcore gaming and video editing. Please help me make the best build that I can. If there is anything you think should be adjusted, please say so.

Good selection of components.

1- However, if you could somehow get a full tower since you're getting a wikid motherboard. That'll be great!
2- Secondly, I have the same PSU and it's silent, real performer.
3- But give a Fully Modular PSU a thought. Have a look at the video below.

I was actually looking at that PSU but just decided to give the Seasonic one a go. It was about $30 less and by the time I bought all these, I only had a few dollars left. Also, what do you mean by wikid motherboard?

My dad wanted a nice i7 so I ended up just getting this build instead. I'm pretty sure this build can still run pretty much every game well. Any thoughts on this one?

GPU is on the lower side as compared to CPU .you can get 4670K and gtx760 easily . .

I know but he wanted the better CPU more. He doesn't game so he is going to use it more toward CPU-Intenstive tasks. Would this still be a good build disregarding that?

The ASrock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer mobo looks amazing! It performs amazing!
Good luck with your build!
